The Doctrine Of Fascism: Istituto Giovanni Treccani.

[Kade]

In 1932, the most authoritative work on Italian of Science, Letters, and Arts was completed... an encylopedia, or the Treccani. (http://www.treccani.it/site/www/catalogo/catge.htm)

The "The Doctrine of Fascism" which was credited to Mussolino, outlines the tenets and structure of a fascist government. In it he also clearly outlines the strong desire for separation of classes.

You can read part of it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctrine_of_Fascism

"[Fascism] affirms the irremediable, fruitful and beneficent inequality of men".

In obvious opposition to socialism.

I am not a socialist. I hate having to defend myself in that regard, but, I must point out that just because a few people like to make the connection between fascism and socialism, it is not true.

Democratic Socialisms, for instance, are in almost direct opposition to the tenets of dictatorships and fascist regimes.

Just some food for thought. Often we move quickly here from Socialist concepts---> pure socialism----> pure communism-----> Fascism----->tyranny...

without a second breath, and I believe it is absurdly misleading. Any person who believes in individual liberty and democracy, cannot, by definition, be a fascist.

In theory, this is true and even obvious. In practice, well, socialism often creeps farther and farther to the fascist side. Not always, but very often. There's a reason our Constitution assumes politicians to be corrupt and in need of restraint first, and gives them room to be public servants mostly as an afterthought...
